Reply to What exactly is a Sovereign in the game, or what you want to do about him? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I would love to actually being able to hide from other players (would most propably only make sense in multiplayer). Only proper espionage can discover the lies, which cover the lies about your actual identity... Let's assume Swicord has an assassin appointed to put SnallTrippin out of the play. The assassin is indeed succeding in his mission and kills the official leader of SnallTrippin's magnificant empire. However, the real SnallTrippin is the actual prime minister a

Reply to Shannara and other great reads in Everything Else Elemental Forums

[quote]I read the Sword of Shannara when it first came out (many, many years ago now) and liked it well enough, although it was by no means a favorite. His other Shannara books don't do it for me though. Interestingly, I thought the Magic Kingdom books were a fun read. I don't read as much fantasy now as I used to, but I like George R.R. Martin, some of Robin Hobb's stuff, Lois McMaster Bujold, and a few others.[/quote] Hey Coleocanth! Sounds exactly

Reply to Tentative Elemental Development Schedule in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote]Not sure if you have to get picked in a lottery to get in, just ordered early, or what, but hopefully I'm in since I preordered just about the day they announced it. I'm a software developer and I'm sort of looking forward to poking at a game I suspect I'll really like, written by a company I've got a lot of respect for.[/quote] I wouldn't worry about that. As far as I know, everyone who preordered will be able to take part in the beta. Re

Reply to Elemental & Civilization 4 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote] ... Regarding scales, I think Elemental would probably be very well suited to an hybrod map generation, where you create macro features with an algorithm (tectonics simulation giving plates, seas, mountain ranges), and a micro feature algorithm (at this level a fractal makes sense) to detail the heightmaps. If the level of the map goes down enough, it would hopefully be possible to code some erosion routines to have rivers carve valleys into the land.[/quote]

Reply to Concerns I am starting to have in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote] Cartagia? Thats a new name on me. Was that mentioned elsewhere? Is that the official title of the campaign world?[/quote] Yup, that's the name of the campaign world. Check the developers journal "the world of elemental". The first sentence reads like this: "The continent of Cartagia was broken into two at the climax of the titanic war between “the powers” in what became known as the cataclysm. From this we now have what the

Reply to Military organization and groupings in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="arstal" reply="6" id="2119371"] [...] As for fast and slow units- that will lead to a system where people will use nothing but cavalry, unless forced to do otherwise by the system. Speed kills in TBS.[/quote] Well, a pike wielding unit would be the hard counter here. Perhaps it even has a special ability: The pikemen form a hedgehog like circle and thus can't be outflanked by cavalery. I think, it all comes down to balancing (and thus beta tes
